It's on my TODO list, but I want to do some more tests first.

The Asus AP1700-S5 does officially list Linux as supported OS,
(and it's a really nice piece of server hardware, too), so they

so clear who's to blame for this problem, though.

Is anyone from ASUSTeK Computers Inc. around here on this list?
